no little newspa-
per space in advocating diversi-
fication of crops by the farmers
and the establishment of cotton
gpills in Texas, especially one in
Caldwell.
Why not first turn your atten-
tion to the matter of having the
Brazos river made navigable?
Do you not know that no man-
ufacturing enterprise in Texas
can be a success under the pres-
ent heavy rates of freight that
the railroads arc charging, and
that Homething must be done to
have these rate reduced before
factories can exist here, notwitb-

we can have

market profitably with their di-
versified products. Make the
Braxos navigable and factories
will come. Give the farmera a
profitable market and diversifica
tion of crops can be counted on.
The government is spending
thousands upon thousands of dol-
lars every year on rivers of not
as great importance as the
Brazos. Why should the people
of Texas be more timid than oth-
ers in asking Uncle Sam's help?
I am reliably told that the rail-
road companies will ship a bale of
cotton 6(H) miles for 75 cents in
sections where its influence of
shipping over the Mississippi
river is felt.
